Beware of Chinese herbal companies
that seduce the public into buying Jing tonics online, because unawareness
of the precise sign & symptom indications for Jing tonics may lead to problems.
As we age and experience psycho-emotional & physical stressors, we
inherently need Yin tonics (rest & repair, anabolism support) AND Jing protection, conservation or restoration.The right Jing
tonic depends on ones constitution & presentation, diet & lifestyle. Digestion, Liver & Spleen usually need support before Jing is can be
effectively supplemented.

It
is estimated that 30-40% of the population has some sort of gluten sensitivity,
compared to the <1% who have Celiac disease [Osborne, 2016]. With 70% of those
who think they have Celiac disease actually having a gluten sensitive
disorder [Osborne, 2016]. Properly
differentiating then treating Celiac disease vs. gluten intolerance vs. gluten
sensitivity avoids bigger problems down the road.

Gluten intoleranceis the inability to digest gluten,
a family of storage proteins found in all grains.

For the people who are thinking about doing a Liver cleanse now...WAIT a few months! Winter is actually the time to nourish the Chinese kidney
[water element], which is the mother of Liver [wood element] inpreparationfor a spring-cleaning. According
to Chinese medicine, Liver [wood element] detoxification is best done in Spring when the body is climatically receptive to cold, bitter & draining cleansing medicinals. So how does one support the Liver now in Winter? By supporting its mother the Kidney, and its grandmother the Lungs.
